Chef!

 

Today has been filled with much hefty work. Hefty in the sense that there was much actual lifting! I am a member of a catering team, so I guess is should introduce myself first, so here goes… my name is Carmen! And I love food. Although not being reflected by my super athletic figure (though some of my colleagues will beg to differ!), my love of all things culinary has helped me to become the youngest fully qualified and trained chef in the firm. Although youthful and full of the joys that being young brings, here I am, carrying lots of new equipment into our container vans to rehearse loading and unloading of said equipment and things. This is a very important aspect of our catering services as it allows us to reconnoitre the possibilities as regards speed of transfer as regards the amount of time it takes to load. Dark times for some, yet this heavy lifting gives me an ample amount of time to psychologically rehearse the events of the next catering assignment. I am a through perfectionist, and anything below the par is simply not an interest of mine. In many ways, that’s why I love working for hog roast caterer, as the ingredients which are bestowed upon the chefs are of such an incredible quality that we are truly spoilt. Then, as long as we work to a framework which pleases each and every client in turn, we are allowed to be thoroughly inventive with such ingredients. The fact that we only have brilliant chefs and the fact that we have such autonomy within our ingredients facilitates such fantastic and gorgeous catered events that our customers keep coming back with smiles the size of buses.

Office in the Field!

We’re all rushed off our feet today as its hog roasting to the maximum! Back at head office we have finished off our tasks and are hastily sporting our chefs whites. With nearly all of us being skilled in the hog and spit roast trade, we are heading out to conduct our second hog roasting charity event of the year!

This is always great fun as it allows us to raise money for great causes all over the United Kingdom. On top of this, it allows those back in the nerve centre to stay in touch with what our whole company is all about, what we stand for an why we do what we do. Allowing the local public to come along and pay a nominal fee for a delightfully crafted pork and crackling roll or two, our little fund raisers are a really fun way of putting back into the community which surrounds us. Many of us seem to be having a great deal of trouble kitting ourselvers out but, as normal I am out ready and waiting whilst the others seek to shape their already over shaped hairs into further shape. We’re on the move now and im writing as Matthew navigates the mid-afternoon traffic. Everyone seems to be in a rush – it must be something to do with Jeremy Kyle (or some program such as that) beginning soon! The ingredients look great and we are all looking forward to putting this show on!

Machines make light of work

With another year in full and vibrant swing, the roles of our machines have once again shown them to be truly indefatigable in the field of hog and spit roast catering. Much like the inexhaustible attitudes and exploits of the Egyptians during the building of the pyramids, our machines commit to the rigours of the catering calendar with the prowess of a moving swan. The stainless steel bodies of our bespoke hog and spit roasting machine units have made many of our parties flow with the sheer poetic beauty. The capabilities of our machine units are allowing our parties to become more than just catered events. In this day and age, it is highly important that, as modern and comprehensive caterers, we can adapt and impress at all events irrespective of their location. Our ultra-mobile machines combine with total culinary supremacy to allow us, as fully trained chefs, to commit wholeheartedly to our varied and comprehensive catering services. This summer, so far, the numerous wedding and parties which we have catered for have been an immense amount of fun to achieve and to commit to, with many of our clients now being firm friends. We have had numerous re-bookings and all of our spit roasted meats and glorious vegetables have been consumed with gusty, lusty vigour by our clients. The summer marches on and with it the parties and events of many hundreds of people will be addressed by our bespoke catering teams. With our gorgeous machines as well as our fantastic ingredients, the sky is the limit when it comes to catering fun!

Rain in the season of Sun

The sights and sounds of summer have been somewhat dimmed this week due to the unwelcome and obtrusive arrival of the rain. Free from warning, and coming with a particular vindictive nature, the rain has added a touch of drab grey to the normally gorgeous caucophony of colour which traditionally inhabits the hedges and valleys of Britain during the Summer. Yet, the rain with all its wettening devices, still has the real power to enliven the flowers and tress, filling wilting leaves with turgid and robust life. Allowing the bees to home in on their flowered and accented beauty, the immediate presence of the grey rain is so giving when it comes to providing a legacy in the purest form; by rewarding the landscape with colour afresh and anew.

In terms of our hog and spit roasting practices and enterprises, the rain has hardly damaged proceedings. Seeing our lovely piggies rolling around in their new found plots of freshly construed mud, we feel a tinge of sadness that, indeed, these specimens will soon be inhabiting the roasting trays of our celebrated hog and spit roasting machines. That brief lull of sadness, however, is washed away as we love the smiles of our satisfied customers far more. Giving up their lives for the most noblest of causes, these intelligent creatures of habit become the most tasty meat known on this gracious land we call Britain. Gaining stupendous degrees of noblesse within their dramatically sensuous colour, our pigs bring us sunshine from the rain

In the land of Hog roast catering, its all go go go!

In the season where people just cant get enough of the fabulous hog roast, it’s a pleasure for us to be out all the time and servicing the hog and spit roasting needs of the British population. Having honed our menus and sharpened our knives, the chefs are out and ready to do battle. Approaching is the time where many of our clients will be flocking to agricultural shows, which is always a plus for us. These shows are not only places where everyone normally appreciates quality within their rustic based foods, but it is also a place where we can all have a big amount of fun! Having many contacts within the farming world has always suited us down to the ground, as most of our ingredients are sourced directly from these. We don’t mind scrubbing a bit of sandy mud off our vegetables, as we know that they are in tip top condition and have been grown in a way that not only pleases our eyes and expectations, but also those of our customers and clients. Back in the office, our epicentre of operations is directing our actions in a furious yet calm manner. In a flash, our catering teams can be on the move, homing in on their catering targets with extreme levels of vigour and inclination. With meat fresh, ingredients to the ‘T,’ our catering teams and our head office pulls together in order to cater in our typical, beautiful way.
